1 | Distributed Computing becomes a commodity article (driven by Web Technologies) |
2 | Market niches for orthodox MPP style HPC are shrinking |
3 | NT clusters become a viable and more cost effective alternative to classic high performance systems |
4 | HLA/RTI from distributed simulation community natural for coarse grain while MPI/HPF/.... Natural for fine grain -- must integrate which we claim can be done using a multi tier architecture |
5 | Web/Commodity software (Pragmatic Object Web) - promising base to build new HPcc (commodity computing) |
